Philippe, while I understand your disappointment on one level, I also feel that it's the reality of buying anything that involves electronics or technology. There's always an update around the corner.

Some companies announce updates well in advance in the hopes of stealing other companies' sales and other companies realize that if, for example, they say "Hey, everyone, there's going to be an improvement to our product line next month", sales of their current product would immediately fall off a cliff. Axiom did the best across the board: Gave some of those improvements to those who ordered months ago.

Glass half empty: You wish you had the magnetic grilles

Glass half full: You got the updated V3 components and performance, though you purchased what you believed to be a V2 item.

I do not complain about my current speaker. Actually they are pretty amazing. And if i bought from Axiom it was for mainly 2 reason. First it's a made in Canada and second for thier great customer service. Having say that, i am not so disappointed since Noreen reply, in fact that was the respond i was hoping for.

If the magnetic grilles are really important to you perhaps a phone call might yield some results with a return and new speakers en route as you are only a month outside the 30 day policy. It couldn't hurt to ask.
